E-Business via the internet is expanding quickly today. Today's accounting students are learning the skills that will help them succeed in business and technology. The eighth edition ofCollege Accounting: A Practical Approachby Jeffrey Slater helps students integrate these skills by infusing the tried-and-true Slater system with real-world applications. Each chapter begins with an E-Business application that introduces students to Internet activities and accounting. A "Continuing Problem" at the end of each chapter lets students apply their skills to a practical case. Throughout the book, students read about real accounting applications in twelve Dunkin' Donuts boxes that feature both local franchise operations and corporate support functions. And students are taught computer accounting skills usingPeachtree. Supplements for QuickbooksandSimply Accountingare also available. THE REAL WORLD Whether students will keep the books for their own small business or function within a corporation, developing an understanding of how accounting procedures are applied in a business setting is crucial to their success. That is why the eighth edition ofCollege Accounting: A Practical Approachnow brings the real world to the classroom through the followingNEW features. NEW CHAPTER OPENERS To help prepare accounting students in real world applications. This new feature applies accounting theory and procedures to Internet activities. Based on interviews with members of the accounting department at Dunkin' Donuts corporate headquarters, thirteen boxes have been specially crafted to illustrate how accounting procedures are used at both franchise stores and corporate headquarters. By reading about how useful the worksheet is to a shop owner throughout the year (Chapter 4), or how new IBM point-of-sale terminals help store owners generate more accurate Cash Summaries (Chapter 6), students will see how the skills they learn in class are applied by this well-known company. The Computer Workshops following Chapters 3, 4, 5, 8, 10, 13 and 16 have been updated for Peachtree Complete 8.0. This commercial software package is used by small- to medium-sized businesses to keep their books and the Computer Workshops teach students to set up the manual systems they learn in the book in a computerized format. Many businesses use computers in some way to manage their accounting records, so students that possess computer skills are a very valuable asset!
